HOW IT WORKS
Our Backflow Testing & Certification Process
We make it simple to get your backflow preventer tested and certified. Our process is designed to be efficient and thorough, giving you complete peace of mind with minimal disruption to your home or business.
Schedule Your Appointment
Contact us by phone or online to set up a convenient time for your backflow test. Our friendly staff will find a time that works for your schedule.
Professional On-Site Inspection
One of our certified plumbers will arrive at your property, locate the backflow prevention device, and perform an initial visual inspection.
Perform the Test
Using specialized, calibrated equipment, we will conduct a detailed test to ensure the device’s internal checks and valves are working correctly to prevent backflow.
Provide Detailed Results
Once the test is complete, we will immediately inform you of the results. If the device passes, we move to the final step. If it fails, we will explain the issue and provide options for repair.
Submit Certification Paperwork
We handle all the paperwork for you. We complete the official test report and submit it directly to your local water authority to ensure your property remains in compliance.
PROTECT YOUR HEALTH
Ensure Your Drinking Water Is Safe & Clean
Your property’s water lines are connected to a complex public system. Changes in water pressure can sometimes cause water to flow backward, a process known as backflow. When this happens, it can pull contaminated water from sources like irrigation systems, boilers, or commercial equipment directly into your clean water supply. This contaminated water can carry serious health risks.
Regular backflow testing is the most effective way to verify that your protection device is working properly. It acts as a crucial safety check, ensuring that a barrier is in place to stop contaminated water from entering your pipes. This is not just about meeting a requirement; it is a fundamental step in protecting the health of everyone on your property.
By having your system professionally tested each year by the certified experts at A-Comfort Service, you can be confident that your drinking water is safe from unseen threats. We provide thorough testing and detailed reports, giving you documented proof that your water supply is secure and your family or customers are protected.
MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE
Meet Local & State Backflow Regulations
For most commercial properties and many residential properties with irrigation or fire suppression systems, annual backflow testing is not optional—it is a legal requirement. Local water authorities across the Pittsburgh area mandate these tests to protect the public water supply from widespread contamination events. Failure to comply can result in serious consequences.
Ignoring your annual backflow testing notice can lead to hefty fines, penalties, and in some cases, the termination of your water service. This can disrupt business operations, inconvenience your family, and lead to unexpected costs. Staying compliant is essential for uninterrupted water service and avoiding legal trouble.
